Sweet Temptation
Lillix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What do you hear, What do you hear?
When you're looking in the mirror
Who do you fear, Who do you fear?
No, don't walk away from talking
Falling behind inside
When you listen to their echo
When you're playing in their playground
What do you fear, What do you fear?
No, it's only yourself you're mocking
Finding the truth inside
One, two, three, four
Get your feet on the floor
Everybody feel it down to the core
Alright, alright, yeah, heard it before
Give in to the sweet temptation
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Lies inside the hollow
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
You don't have to... Follow, follow, follow, follow
Look into the television
Staring at me, staring at me
Maybe it's my conscience calling
What does it mean, who should I be?
No, it's only yourself you're mocking
Finding the truth inside
One, two, three, four
Get your feet on the floor
Everybody feel it down to the core
Alright, alright, yeah, heard it before
Give in to the sweet temptation
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Lies inside the hollow
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
You don't have to... Follow, follow, follow, follow
Follow, follow, follow, follow...
One... two... three... four...
One... two... three... four...
One... two... three...
One, two, three, four
Get your feet on the floor
Everybody feel it down to the core
Alright, alright, yeah, heard it before
Give in to the sweet temptation
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Lies inside the hollow
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
You don't have to...
One, two, three, four
Get your feet on the floor
Lies inside the hollow...
Alright, alright, yeah, heard it before
Give in to the sweet temptation
The lyrics to Lillix's song 'Sweet Temptation' speaks to the inner conflict many of us face when it comes to self-acceptance and societal pressures. The song asks listeners to reflect on how they perceive themselves and who they are influenced by. The first verse highlights the inner dialogue that happens when we wake up in the morning and look in the mirror. The lyrics ask, "What do you hear? Who do you fear?" which speaks to the negative thoughts that may come to mind when we analyze ourselves. The following lines remind us to not push away those negative thoughts and instead confront them and find the truth within ourselves.
The second verse references external influences such as the media and society. The line "Look into the television, staring at me, staring at me" speaks to how the media can dictate how we see ourselves and how we should behave. The chorus then follows, with the lyrics encouraging listeners to "Give in to the sweet temptation". This can be interpreted as giving in to being true to oneself and not conforming to societal expectations.

When you're waking in the morning
Starting a new day
What do you hear, What do you hear?
Wondering about the sounds around you
When you're looking in the mirror
Checking your reflection
Who do you fear, Who do you fear?
Feeling afraid of something or someone
No, don't walk away from talking
Don't avoid communication
Falling behind inside
Feeling left out
When you listen to their echo
Listening to other people's opinions
Who do you hear, Who do you hear?
Wondering whose voice is the loudest

Going along with others' preferences
What do you fear, What do you fear?
Worrying about the consequences of your actions
It's only yourself you're mocking

Feel the music deeply
Alright, alright, yeah, heard it before
Enjoying the familiar sound
Give in to the sweet temptation
Let yourself enjoy the moment
Lies inside the hollow
Deception inside emptiness
You don't have to... Follow, follow, follow, follow
You don't need to conform
Look into the television
Watch the screen
Staring at me, staring at me
Feeling observed
Maybe it's my conscience calling
Possibly your inner voice
What does it mean, who should I be?
Questioning your identity
One, two, three, four
Counting the beats again
Lies inside the hollow...
More deception inside emptiness

This song sounds even better now than it did in 2007. Still can’t understand why Lillix weren’t huge
